The 2024 NXL World Cup has been one for the ages . The event drew an incredible 637 teams spread across 24 divisions . From Professional men ’ s and women ’ s Xball , to ten-player mounds fields , to three versus three youth and everything in-between , the 2024 World Cup offered something for everyone and every level of competitive play .
As it has the past nine seasons , the event took place on the grounds of the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Kissimmee , Florida — a 20-minute drive from downtown Orlando and just five minutes from Old Town Kissimmee , the popular paintball player nighttime hangout . And of course , the site is near everything a player or team could want or need .
This year ’ s World Cup featured a jampacked vendor row with all of the major manufacturers , dealers and team merch booths . Empire Paintball , Planet Eclipse , JT Paintball , Crbn , Infamous , HK Army , Dye , Virtue , Hormesis , GI Sportz , Valken and a ton of smaller companies like Maxt , PB Retro , Mazens , Hydrafit , P8ball . com and many more .
The grandstands and VIP were also top notch this year . The grandstands , which were completely full at times held 1680 people and the VIP area , which held 500 seated and 120 standing , was also frequently mostly full .
The weather was amazing , the vibe was incredible and we haven ’ t even talked about the games yet !
